"I'm a fifth-generation showman. My family have been at it for 150 years or more and we've done everything. My ancestors started off selling crockery and moved into running a smash-the-plate game. Thinking on your feet, that's called. The oldest fair in the United Kingdom dates back to 1214. You didn't really have much entertainment then and it was something people looked forward to returning all year long. For the families involved, our blood is part of all those fairs and all that history. There's no bigger thrill than winning a prize. Look at the face of a young girl when she wins a prize and you'd think she'd won the lottery. That's the best thing about being a showman. Through the muck and the rain, through every problem you can imagine, the look on that face is our reward."
